Just so's you know, I'm the guy who did the Photorealism rant. I still think it's an innappropriate word to apply to current games, but what the hey? That's just my opinion . CoD 2 looks cool though. Only ever played the demo of CoD, but it was pretty damn fun. As to WW2 games, I agree, there IS a lot of source material there. It'd be great if they set a campaign in China for the battles for Manchuria against Japan. I've ne'er played a game where that's done... though I'm sure some knowledgeable people here could set me straight as to where a game that features that might be found.
